Clementine WDYT

What do you think of Clementine? I like it, but I don't know if it would age well. Should I use it for the middle name spot or do you think it could work in the first name place?

Sorry, but Clementine just seems so juvenile to me.

I want to like Clementine, but it's just too fairytale like for me...too singsongy. I actually met a LO named Clementina the other day she was Hispanic and I loved it in that case! But Clementine is just too attached to the song for me. It doesnt seem like a real person's name.

I love it!!!

I think it's offbeat and spunky for a fn. And would spice up a combo as a mn, when paired with a classic/traditional name in the fn spot.

It reminds me of the cow I had growing up named Clementine. Thats the only thing I can associate it with.

I like it but I can't imagine anyone actually using it.  I feel like it's trying too hard, and you would need a very confident girl to pull it off.

I think a really, really attractive person could pull this off.  But just an average person or homely person would have a hard time pulling off Clemetine.

I know two little Clementines. I like the name, although I can see how it is sometimes perceived as juvenile.

horrible fn. I think it is a name where you are trying way to hard and I can see you child hating her name.  maybe a mn but definitely not a fn

I like it a lot, but don't see it at all as juvenile. I see it more as old-ladyish. In the Hazel category.

FN all the way! (Also the name of Kate Winslet's character in Spotless Mind.)

There is a Clementine in DS' music class and I always think what the heck were your parents thinking! Its a delicious fruit, no so much a name though.

I love Clementine, but would never use it in the fn spot. Total gp name though! It's an awesome mn I think.

The only one I know is my great-aunt Clementina, so I can definitely see it on an adult/elderly woman.

I really like it, but I'm a sucker for all the virtue names.

I think it's adorable--but I don't know that I would want an "adorable" name on a grown woman. It seems OK for a little girl or an older woman, but I have a hard time with the in-between ages.

It's a little too cutesy for me in the fn spot, but think it could work in the mn.

It's okay...don't love it. Reminds me of that kids song...it's country-ish in sound. Also it's one of Calliou's friends in that cartoon. Sorry, I have a two year old.
